Philco 551 clock question

In-any-case, you'll need to remove the clock assembly and face from the rear of the cabinet.  You might have to remove the radio chassis first to gain access.  

Yeah I had noticed my hands looked different from images I had found.  Also my movement only has a set knob, not a run knob.  I'm going to buy the movement from Clockworks so I'll just have to get some hands that I think will look good since they didn't have any to match the original design.  I may post some pictures on here to get others opinions.

I'll try removing from the rear of the cabinet.  It looked like the face was behind (or I guess since I am looking at it from the rear, in front) of some wood.  Maybe it just looks that way.

Thanks
